Lessons from Jerry Maguire

1815

News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one.  Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract.  The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.

Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business.  We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper.  It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.

The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

  1. Just got back on the site. What is the info on Guidetti. I know it is a loan deal, is it with a buying option. What nationality is he, how old, previous club or clubs ect ect. Never heard of him.

  2. Gary67,

     

     

    It’s just calmed down from someone calling NL a media whore and now you’re calling Scepovic one ;)

    £800m spent by EPL teams….. says it all really ….. and you wonder why Celtic are being careful …… One helluva big bubble is going to burst over the next few years ….. reminds me of the hype before the recession in 2008

     

     

    Extra careful?

    How were the strippers last night?! :-)

     

     

    Ps what the hell was in that box you were carrying down the stairs at half time yesterday?!?!

  8. For me Danny McGrain was a complete footballer.

     

    Hard to compare him with anyone at the moment.

     

    Philip Lahm, comes close.

     

    During his time with Scotland, although he was really a right back.

     

    Sandy Jardine played right back, so Danny ‘had’ to be moved to left back.

     

    Performed superbly.

     

    Show me someone like him in this transfer window?

    Look I’m just hanging around till the next Celtic Rangers game when you can all take the anal pounding yeez awe pine and hope for. In the meantime I’m investing in a boat. Thinking of taking up fishing hook line and sinker Celtic PLC style, Canny lose with so many happy clapper fish on the sea to fry.

  11. tictae….

     

     

    Re England…

     

     

    Thought at the time it was nothing more than a sop because of the pressure coming from us to give him a chance. TBH I feel Alan thought that too.

     

     

    When they gave in he was just on the downside of his peak. If they had gone for him 18months earlier as they could have their perennial left side problems would have been solved.

     

     

    Hell mend them!

    Omacelt,

     

     

    Up your fibre and water intake neebs;)

  13. Still a possibility of Scepovic even at this late stage talks are on going. This one will not be for the want of trying.

    An empty pie box…..ahem

     

     

    It was a tripping hazard left by the huge guy in front of me – and with my concern for my fellow (phew! Nearly typed fella there!) fans I decided to dispose of it.

    Well im going to bed so that I can have a Christmas morning type experience tomorrow.H.H.

  16. If we do sign scepovic, I would have some concerns about his commitment after yesterday’s knockback.

     

     

    Reminds me a wee bit of Marko V.

     

     

    Lubo.

    what a sad story.

     

     

    I hate it in common use for its faux-deference. I hate deference. Even faux.
